Getting away

We have been carrying a lot of spring breakers to Grand Bahama over the past few weeks and the island is very busy at the moment. The Port Lucaya area is packed with students, especially the beach. We also have a lot of same day return passengers traveling and some of them are really looking to get away from the students but that is hard this time of year. However, there is an escape. If you are a same day return passenger you should make reservations for the Beach & Shopping tour, which is the only organized excursion available for same day return passengers. First of all this gets you off the ship before any other passengers, so there are no long lines to wait in. This gives you more time to enjoy the island. You will also be with a staff member from the ship who will take care of you during your stay. The tour takes you to a private beach resort where you have beach and pool access WITHOUT all of the spring breakers. So you can enjoy the beach, swim in the pool, have fun on the waterslide or just relax in a hammock by the pool. Now that is my idea of a great afternoon in the Bahamas.
